Revisiting the Definition of Dyslexia

EXPERT: Dr. Hugh Catts 

Join Dr. Hugh Catts to learn more about the components of the IDA’s 20-year-old definition of dyslexia, and a recent paper he wrote with colleagues from the Florida Center for Reading Research offering recommendations for revisions based on literacy research including:

• recognizing the severity and persistence of word-reading, decoding, and spelling difficulties
• acknowledging the multifactorial causal basis of dyslexia
• clarifying exclusionary factors
• highlighting secondary academic and biophysical consequences associated with dyslexia.
